Thank you for all those players who attended Godendag at Cardiff I think you all enjoyed and had a good time. Congratulations to Ben for winning and Dene for second and David/Nigel for third place. A big well done to Trevor for his creditable performance in his first FOG R competition. A big thank y...

Don,

Thanks for the offer but everything should be alright.
David Burrows is hoping to get a flight back to the UK on the Thursday but just in case David and Nigel will split and play as singles rather than as a pair.

Bob

David Burrows has to go to America for business and may not be back in time.

If David Burrows can not make it back in time David Elks and Nigel Phillips will split as a team.

David Elks will use a Royalist Rapid Raiding Force 1643

Ben has all the lists in so we are able to publish the runners and riders plus the first round draw which was done before all the lists were in. Runners and Riders No Players Name Club Army Army Date 1 David Burrows Oxford New Model Army 1646 2 Ben Jones Oxford Scots Royalist 1645 3 David Elks/Nigel...

I have bought my ticket so that leaves one.

Bob

In addition to the armies in Trade and Treachery I believe that the following armies from Clash of Empires might allow an army with two Keils to be formed: -

Hungarian
Early Polish
Kalmar Union
Early Imperial Austrian
Early Danish
Vasa Swedish
Later Imperial Austrian and German States

Nik, There will be more options of armies than the two you suggest. I am proposing that the armies to be chosen from the following lists: Later Polish & Lithuanian – Duty and Glory Later Ottoman Turkish – Clash of Empires Hungarian Kuruc Rebellion – Duty and Glory Habsburg Austrian Imperial (Eastern...

We had a dispute last night in a practice game for Badcon in respect of the deployment of ambushes. Ben placed an ambush marker in a forest. He then marched a battlegroup of warriors passed the ambush marker and then decided to place the troops in ambush on the table. The ambush were three dragoons....

I have checked and approved Ben's list so all other players can feel happy that he can not change his list after he has seen yours. So get your lists in to Ben went they are ready but no later than Saturday 25th January 2020 . The battlefields website suggest that we have 9 players already booked fo...

Nik we are going to be doing Battle of Vienna.

No confirmed date yet but it is usually at the beginning of the school summer holidays.

We can help with armies if helps.

So is Ray going to get his most points in the competition by having the bye in round 1!!!

Bob

Come on - it may only be the beginning of November but I would expect more then 5 players booked.

I am also happy with it.

Bob

Tickets are now available on the Cardiff Firestorm website: -

https://www.thebattlefields.co.uk/event ... mm-singles

I have booked my place. One other person has booked so there are 14 tickets available.

Bob

David, A group of us usually stay at Cardiff North Premier Inn. However, something must be going on in Cardiff that weekend as the cost of rooms are sky high (£150 for the Saturday night). If Godendag had been two weeks earlier as in the past the cost of a room is only £36 for the Saturday night. Bob

I am happy to let everyone know that there will be a FOG R competition at Godendag 2020. Details are set out below: - 15mm RENAISSANCE SINGLES COMPETITION 8th and 9th February 2020 Venue: Firestorm Games, Trade Street, Penarth Road Cardiff, CF10 5DT (Tel: 02920 227117) Rules: - Field of Glory Renais...

Tim,

FOG R at Roll Call this year was a two day competition. Why are you proposing to drop it to one day?

If it is a one day competition then I may decide not to come.

Bob

I expect there will be a number of Polish armies next year.

The way the theme will be sorted will ensure mounted verse mounted combat.
